Rooted in seafaring tradition, our Men’s Melton Wool Irish Skipper Cap brings classic maritime style to modern-day wardrobes. Inspired by the headwear worn by Irish fishermen and mariners throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, this cap is a tribute to coastal life, where practicality, durability, and style go hand in hand. Once worn to shield against wind and sea spray, the skipper cap has become a symbol of timeless rugged elegance.
Its defining shape includes a flat crown, structured front band, and a short, curved peak, creating a bold yet refined profile that’s instantly recognisable. Unlike softer flat caps, the skipper cap holds its shape beautifully, offering a slightly more tailored and commanding look. Whether worn with a wool coat or layered knits, it adds a distinctive edge to everyday outfits. For a complete Irish-inspired ensemble, pair the skipper cap with our Full Zip Men’s Merino Cardigan.
Made from 100% Melton wool, this cap is built to withstand the elements. Melton is a tightly woven wool known for its dense feel, warmth, and natural resistance to wind and moisture, qualities that made it a staple for traditional naval and outdoor garments. The smooth, felted texture gives it a polished finish while maintaining exceptional durability for long-term wear. This skipper cap is a functional, thoughtful gift for the man who appreciates history, craftsmanship, and enduring quality.
